Heads up, one of the guys over at TOPDON (the company for the OBD2 scanner) like the video and sent me a coupon code for 15% off the scanner. So that's in the description of the video
It would be much cheaper and easier to keep the hydraulic suspension. Valve block rebuild kits for the front and rear are $80 each and it's not that hard to rebuild. I got a fancy rebuild kit from the Czech Republic that included stiffer springs. You can use snowplow oil instead of expensive green stuff ($2.69/quart v. ~$15/quart) for the suspension oil too. Don't forget the accumulators at $250/pair. Put fresh ones in.
Just come up with $3500 to throw at the Benz and you’ll have a semi decent daily. It always starts off with only needing $600, then that’s where the snowball effect starts. It was a mistake, but you only got burned for 1k. People get burned over 10k which would be depressing.
You dont have to replace control arms to do a coilover suspension conversion. But airmatic control arms have mounts for sway bar (abc system does not use sway bar) so if you do swap them out i would get a sway bar also
The hydraulic valve blocks are rebuildable with kits online for about $80 an axle. And the struts don't need rebuilding unless they leak oil out of them.
ABC equipped cars dont have roll bars installed, because system is smart enough to adjust strut pressure while cornering to keep the car level, so if you are switching to coilovers maybe you need to look into roll bars from airmatic car also. Also, every time buying a used merc, just clear all codes, drive for a while to see what codes come back. As some of them might not be relevant at all.
Pretty sure most Mercedes' use a braided line to supply fuel to the rail. Or at least all the ones I've worked on have. They all look exactly the same as yours too, So it may actually be an OEM item despite looking all fancy and aftermarket. P.s. Love the content, keep up the awesome work!
That ABC is great suspesion but it is hell every month oil is leaking i have a cl55 amg and i want to fit coilovers pleas make a video how you will change...
Should have got a HyundaiEquus or G90 Genesis. :D I have no idea what your back story is but I just saw what car you have and tried to compare within category. I just subscribed so gonna check out your old vids. Let's see what you're about , cheers . Haha
A mate had a 'false air' issue with his c124. The engine just wasn't running right. He searched for a long time and found: a leak in the automatic rear head rest drop. These vacuum operated devices are just junk. Vacuum systems are always hard to maintain - so I's a joke to link vital system to comfort gimmicks. If run by engine vacuum and not a separate pump, I would try to get rid of them all. And to the Mercedes Engineers: War ne Scheiß Idee - damit wärsch noch weit vor Moskau zu Ende gewesen!
i have a 06 s55 amg n/a and i also have haters saying the same thing about its not a s55 its a s500 s55 amg is supercharged or v12 bi turbo no people your wrong so stop hating on people like us that knows how to spend there money on a masterpeace i got my s55 for 500.00 usd and it was on the ground wrecked truck driver messed up exhaust and tips so i put lots of work to it for cheap in total running parts car yes was smaller body 2000 s500 $ 2000 swap front ends kept the compressor and valve block and air tank and shock and sold it for 1200 60 for rear bearing and 30 for the front pass so 500 for car 800 for parts car and 90 for orileys parts and boom car is nice with black front end and burgundy body white cream interior and the sound of the steamed motor as it flys by everything on the street even them haters is priceless and yes they do go well over the odometer 160mph no 200 yes how do i knowwith a digital odo meter i have and also previously was owner of a amg kopressor and yes those are hella fast but easy to break and costly for chargers when the 06 06 06 06 06 mb amd s55 yes 06 is just as bad a$$ as the korpressor and in turns if some one want to kow what there car really is just go to mb and tak to a tech u can do this online free good luck with ur ride there buddy there well worth it and when done sell it for no less then 12000 or just keep it u kow what u got ps does ur have 6 gear auto shift ... oh almost forgot the key my kid eat mine so replace cost 350 ,,,$$$$$$$$$$$
Yo take the motor out put a crossfire or c class manual trans on headers intake and a tune and swap it into the 240sx now you have a 400+hp v8 in future boost it and now you got a 500whp 240sx very unique build just an idea would be cool

OffBeat Garage I bet it needs timing belt done
dodge charger suspension will fit on there!
OffBeat Garage do they make coilovers for a s500 2004 base model? I tried installing lowering links but one side always ends up lower than the other.
Your camera is making a noise, sounds like a focus motor is broken :/
Autofocus just loud af because i stopped using the external mic. Wanna switch cameras soon

This. Keep the ABC. It’s easier than people let on.

You have an S500 with AMG package.. it is not an S55 amg....
Matt Szurko it is a s55 with 367 hp non supercharged i have same engine in my 2002 CL55 and is limited 2200 was made
It’s a real S55. Pre-2003 is NA.
This is an s 500.not a AMG.body
All amgs have either a super charge engine or v12 turbo!!
@@TheDwillia3 pre 2003 I'm suprised how many people don't get or look into this at all

“Everything worng with my Mercedes”
“Das Mercedes? “
fixx it great car ! Arent w220 equiped with factory lsd diffs?
That braided hose is DEFINITELY OEM and that actually is fuel feed.
Dope! Good to know :)
Make sure too actually make a video of pulling it straight
Don’t know the bolt pattern off the AMG but you should try on the Work Rezax on the car.
5x112 for all mercs
Leave the.stock suspension on, check arnott suspension parts out of Florida

Find a correct amg front bumper, update tail lights and headlights to 03+
Hyped to see what happens with this.
nice video bro! I love to keep up with the S project
Love the content keep it coming I’m really looking forward to seeing how this car turns out

Yep! Sway bars as well as an airmatic power steering pump should have this thing all sorted with coilovers.
Just to let u know my father had a 2000 s500 Benz and when u do the spark plug service this car requires 16 spark plugs
24 for my V12 version. All were gapped incorrectly, so good thing I yanked them all. $100 for double tipped platinum plugs.
i know your problem with that suspension ive got the factory air on my s500

Really? His car is a couple of years later than mine and I have a Hardline.
The braided hose is OEM, it connects the fuel rail
Very nice W220😊
Congrats on getting engaged adele
That ABC is great suspesion but it is hell every month oil is leaking i have a cl55 amg and i want to fit coilovers pleas make a video how you will change...
What happened to the other girl
throw em in the gutter n go get another
They broke up awhile ago and she took the Z32 with her. But I know for a fact our boi Adel here is glad to be rid of her
Hell yeah, S13 sounding like a tractor I love it.
this is cool and all but the real question is what happen with the 86?
Excited for the vids
When you gonna do drifting videos again
Can't wait till you weld the diff on the merc lol
That silver hose is oem
1:48 goh dahm boih
Was wondering where you are located?
If the headlights have a self leveling mechanism then they are too pricey to replace. Over a thousand bucks each.
Also, do the work to the AMG ❤️
That braided line is one fuel line
Oem
Should also get new rotors or atleast machine the ones you have if possible.
Bruh where are you getting these prices for your parts $100 for front and rear brakes my maf just went out on my 2001 clk 55 and it cost 170
What is ur intro sonh name?
this car is not an amg its a 500!!
The Unknown no its not.
incorrect, 02 S55 was N/A this is very much so an AMG
Oh my God that's unreal that looks exactly like my s55 I just sold with the same exact damage except mine had 19in amg rims on it
Should have got a HyundaiEquus or G90 Genesis. :D
I have no idea what your back story is but I just saw what car you have and tried to compare within category. I just subscribed so gonna check out your old vids. Let's see what you're about , cheers . Haha
What happened to the Tdi?
Got wheels for it and working on getting suspension. Vids will be out on that soon :)
this is a s500 and no s55 amg still has not amg brakes and amg bumpers
*Car is broken
Him: Not a Big Deal
Straight pipe please

Can I get those wheels??
S13 sounds sick, kinda has a tiny misfire but is coming along!
Pgamer TBP tiny misfire? Lol
Aye get your parts from fcp euro, they give you lifetime warranty
if you don't know, get all your parts From FCP Euro Life time warranty on literally everything you get from them
Idle on the s13 almost sounds v8ish
I get why are you excited about an old limousine like S class. I had that same feeling the first time I drove one. There's nothing as good
the suspension parts aren't terrible doing your own work you should just get the parts and Joe lose that feature but eh... probably too late
That front bumper is not original amg.
Part it out you will get more than your money back

That thing is baller
That’s pretty sick honestly that it slamms it’s self lol , of course as long as it’s not peeing fluid all over
Look for rust, the W220 is well known for that
I used to have c 65 amg 2009 my advice is give it up no use to repair them
C65 AMG ? Really what the fuck is wrong with you get a life
😱😱
Of course you made a mistake it's a benz
Whos nikita
Yeah dream on 300 dollars 😁😁
